Hop on your bike and join a tour (and taste) through some of the city’s most interesting breweries, including Floodcraft Brewing Co. (formerly known as Mission Creek Brewing Co.) and Hapa’s Brewing Company, to learn what it takes to brew beer in Silicon Valley. Thursday, July 6, 5 p.m. Details and location will be sent in advance to all registered participants. San Jose. Email address: infosj@spur.org.

Coffee Club is a place to meet new people, talk bikes, share tips. and caffeinate together. If you’re new to riding or interested but haven’t gotten rolling yet, find riding buddies and answer some of your questions about biking in SF. Friday, July 7, 8-9 a.m., Duboce Park Cafe, 2 Sanchez St., S.F.
• Saturday Sunset Survey Ride. Join the SFBC’s community organizer Julia Raskin on a casual 2.5-mile infrastructure ride of 20th Avenue to learn about and help inform the redesign of the street.

• Saturday SFFilm Tour by Bike. Join neighbors from upper NoPa (and beyond) and play tourist by stopping by SF destinations that have been featured in films. From Sutro Baths (Harold & Maude) to the Golden Gate Bridge (Godzilla, Planet of the Apes, and many more), this trip will tour local movie history on a mellow 18-mile ride. The plan is to stop for pictures and visit a local cafe along the way. Saturday, July 8, 1:30-5:30 p.m., Mission Dolores, 3321 16th St., S.F.
